of five staffers for massachusetts republican senator scott brown, as well as other republican party operatives, chanting fake native american war whoops and doing tomahawk chops, to mock native americans. the abc affiliate in boston identified the scott brown staffers here as his deputy chief of staff, his constituent services council, his state director for massachusetts, and his special assistant. also, there is a massachusetts state republican party guy here, who works in conjunction with the brown campaign. scott brown came out shortly after he heard about this tape yesterday to say that he did not condone the behavior of his staffers here. but you know, this is not exactly an isolated incident. i mean, senator brown right now is basing his re-election campaign for the senate on the issue of elizabeth warren's ethnicity and what he thinks it really is. >> professor warren claimed that she was a native american, a person of color, and as you can see, she's not. that being said, she checked the box and she had an opportunity, actually, to make a decision throughout her career, whe

senator scott brown is trying desperately, very desperately, to fend off a challenge from democratic candidate elizabeth warren. i use the word desperate on purpose. after releasing one ad attacking elizabeth warren on the basis of race, after his staffers were caught childishly mocking native americans with the whole tomahawk chop and after the cherokee nation asked scott brown to apologize for that and he refused to do so, after all that scott brown has put out another ad today again attacking elizabeth warren on the ground of race. they must have some poll numbers showing a race based campaign is working wonders for him. it's not a whisper campaign, anonymous flyers on windshields like we used to expect. this comes straight from the campaign unapologetically. just to be clear as a bell about what the story is. it's not that scott brown has ever disproven or anybody has ever disproven that elizabeth warren has native american ancestry. it's not been disproven. it's not a lie. scott brown's whole beef with her, the whole basis for his u.s. senate campaign against her based on race i

lead over sitting senator scott brown. suffolk university whdh poll has warren 4 points ahead of brown. the opposite of where she was found a few months ago. over in missouri, todd akin has until september 25 to exit the race. but despite the most recent poll putting him 6 points behind mccaskill, he thinks he can win the race. the akin campaign released this ad yesterday. >> a coalition of women whose goal is to reach others with the truth that todd is a humble, intelligent and compassionate leader. he's not just a good choice for missouri. he's the best choice for missouri senate. >> eliot: the video and corresponding web site have since been taken down after it was revealed one of the women pictured on the site was a democratic operative only there to keep tabs on akin. joining me now the d.c. correspondent for wnyc's the take away, todd zwillich. mayhem at every level other than the presidential race where i for one think it is a forgone conclusion. let's talk the house. 25 the magic number. how do you

and in masshusetts, scott brown, elizabeth warren race is getting more personal and uglier. lot lt exchange. >> elizabeth warren is trying to put questions about her heritage behind her. >> identifying herlf as native american to employs. >> elibetharre is rl fighter. i don't know about scott brown. he is siding with the big money guys. tax cuts for millionaires won't help people around here. >> times rana is with us and erin lewis and jonathan alter o is aum for bloomberg view. jonathan, let's talk about massachusetts. sort of the closest thing to a presidential-esque race. my joke is runsor president and you get a talk show. judging by the attacks back and forth i can't tell who is really ahead. >> some recent polls have shown elizabeth warren taking a littl lead but way too close to call. scott brown's problem ishat he has been the good guy eve s on 2010. he's had this good guy reputation. >> just a little bit of a risk? >> it's a bigger risk because the more negative he goes and he was very harsh in that first debate. if he has more debates where he is really taking the gloves off, some

trailo diuss bs and vocational training. i think he's campaigning with the wrong guy. >>> scott brown's race-baiting comments about elizabeth warren and his supporter's racist chances have the cherokee nation asking the senator for an apology. >>> and could democrats turn mn lin pisue this nomber? shrinking and the senate race is heating up. democratic senator richard karmonna will join me. please share your thoughts with us on facebook and on twitter using #edshow. we're right back. it was anythi. i had pain in my abdomen... it just wouldn't go away. i waspting, ibut i had already goney. through menopause. these symptoms may be nothing... but they could be early warning signs of a gynecologic cancer, such as cervical, ovarian, or uterine cancer. feeling bloated for no reason. that's what i remember. seeing my doctor probabl saved my life. rning sis are not the same for everyone. if t shi doctor probabl savwrong...fe. see your doctor. ask about gynecologic cancer. and get the inside knowledge. i'm an expert on softball. and tea parties. i'll have more awkwarconversations than i'm eip

is permanent and has to do with warren's claims of native american heritage. scott brown cast doubt on those saying, i think character is important. now both sides are airing out the debate in tv spots across the country. >> i'm scott brown. i approve this message. >> elizabeth warren is trying to put questions about her heritage behind her. >> identified herself as a native american to employers. >> they have zero evidence of. >> she's facing tough questions about whether she claimed to be a minority for professional gain. >> she did give an answer. it keeps changing. >> anything else that will come out about you that you don't already know? >> you know, i don't think so, but who knows? >> as i kid i never asked for documentation when she talked about our native american heritage. i knew my family dchts like she was part cherokee and delaware so my parents had to elope. i never asked for, never got any benefit because of my heritage. the people who hired me said they didn't even know about it. i'm elizabeth warren. i approve this message. scott brown can continue attacking my family. but i'

'll talk about, elizabeth warren had the lead over scott brown in four over five polls. nate silver who forecasts the down ballot races and his 538 blog for "the new york times" wrote on thursday, the democrats' chances of controlling the senate have increased to 79 percent ners in the forecast up from 70% on tuesday. had we run the model a month ago based on polls from august 19th, the democrats' chances of maintaining senate control would have been listed at just 39%. in the house the democrats still have an uphill battle to win back the house. the average at the polls is they have an advantage on the generic congressional vote, that was not a case just a month ago. pretty stunning turn around that prompts the obvious question. what has changed. john, you have been koofrg a lot of races. what's your theory of what this shift has been about? >> i think it's a multiple shift, not just one. i don't want to make it too complicated. the fact of the matter is in most of america we have become parliamentary. i hear this not just from pollsters who are seeing it as well, but also from people

at. look, if you want change okay, don't vote for somebody like scott brown in massachusetts. he might be photogenic but if you keep him in instead of putting in elizabeth warren, you're going to get people who.do nothing but block and don't compromise. so obama was right. he's already in there but he can't do it himself. people have to go out and vote for people that are willing to create change and do compromise. if you just sit back, the tea party is going to control washington and we aren't going to get anything done and there's going to be no compromise and the country's going to go down the drain. >> bill: well said, steve. scott brown, you know, he and elizabeth warren had their first debate last night. you know, you're right. scott brown is a pretty boy. he pretends to be -- he did not even mention mitt romney in the debate last night. and elizabeth warren came right out and said part of our agenda is helping president obama get re-elected and she's a total supporter of his. scott brown wouldn't mention

of about $650,000 in help every year on paying for their prescription drugs. and scott brown and the republicans have said, nope, they want to repeal that, they want to go back to square one, they want to get rid of them. so these are core issues that i care about all over the commonwealth. >> ifill: scott brown says when it comes to barack obama the economy is a drag, today he said his report card was incomplete. when it comes to mitt romney there are people who say he is too beholden to his party's conservative wing. which is the bigger drag? >> i just don't see it that way. i really see this as who you're fighting for. i didn't get into this race because of me. i got pulled into this race because of what i see as the urgency of the moment. america's working families have just been hounded and it's been going on for a generation flat wages, rising expenses in housing and health care and sending a kid to school and it's put families in a vice at the same time there have been those in the federal government who said, hey, big tax breaks for oil companies billionaire cans pay

over this. mcmahon in connecticut and scott brown in massachusetts. those are swing states in the senatorial race. >> eliot:. not presidential level. and so what do we disearn if anything from the fact his senatorial candidates in those states at least are saying hey guys, he does not talk for me on this issue? >> i don't think deriding half the country as parasites is a winning political message in any election. romney has to double down on it because if he backs away from it he looks weak. classic p.r. says you gotta come out swinging but i don't think there's anybody that wants to go down on the ship with mitt romney. >> eliot: the only thing he said in the long expanse and his quick statement yesterday or today was he said nice words about paying taxes. people want to pay taxes. i felt like screaming out how about you. maybe you can do more than 13%. not quite that much. anyway, all right. tim, national correspondent for "rolling stone," errol louis thanks for your time tonight. >> good to be with you.

the world the same way as governor romney. scott brown has a big debate tonight with elizabeth warren. elsd that's not the view he had of the world here. we talked about four gop candidates distancing themselves from romney. the list goes on and on here. you know this game better than anyone else. how confident are you that democrats -- i don't want to use the word capitalize because it seems exploitive, but in the end draw a line between the republican party leader, the nominee, and the entire democratic party who don't subscribe to this same view? >> no, there's no question. p if you're out there and you're republican and you're in a blue or purple state like nevada, you've got to draw some distinctions and make it clear that you don't agree with the front-runner and your ticket. the presidential election, if let's say president obama carries the state, that doesn't guarantee that the democratic senate candidate wins. but it makes it a lot harder for a republican to buck the trend. if president obama wins some states like wisconsin and in the fox poll he's up by 14 points. if president ob

exchanging. you can see she is not cherokee. at least according to the massachusetts senator scott brown, my favorite massachusetts senator who opened thursday night's debate with his democratic challenger by going after her claims of native american heritage. warren was the subject of mockery for not being able to show proof that she has cherokee ancestry even though she listed her as native american. watch and ab orb, watch and -- watch and absorb, watch and absorbers. >> she claimed she is a native american, a person of color. and as you can see she is not. that being said, she checked the box, and she had an opportunity actually to make a decision throughout her career when she applied to penn and harvard. she checked the box claiming she is a native american. clearly she is not. >> clearly. >> because she has blonde hair? >> how dowry spawned to that, ms -- how do you respond that, ms. warren and don't blame it on stories growing up or blame it on your family saying you never used it to get ahead. >> you know, when i was growing up, these are the stories i knew about my heritage. i beli

needed chance for a boost in her massachusetts race against scott brown. >> the system is rigged. look around. oil companies guzzle down billions in profits. billionaires pay lower tax rates than their secretaries. and wall street ceos, the same ones who wrecked our economy and destroyed millions of jobs, still strut around congress, no shame, demanding favors, and acting like we should thank them. does anyone here have a problem with that? well, i do too. i do too. >> so, guys, i thought it was a strong speech, but i have to say elizabeth warren has a problem here. she's fallen several points behind, i think about five or six points behind scott brown in this race. i think there's a frustration and a concern among democrats in massachusetts and nationally that the elizabeth warren that everyone was introduced to last year -- if you remember, there was that viral video where she had this impromptu explanation of the social contract. it was charismatic. i think democrats looked at that last fall and said this really is the perfect messenger for what we're trying to say about the economy

with the aarp voters' guide at earnedasay.org >>> i think scott brown and linda mcmahon and a lot of candidates out there are really going to be in trouble if the national republicans now go back on their word and come in here and try to fund todd akin. >> well, missouri senator claire mccaskill sending a warning to all republicans the day after her gop opponent called her unlady-like. a down ballot effect could happen it to mitt romney to republican race as cross the country.

republican incumbent scott brown looked to defend his seat taking on democratic challenger, elizabeth warren in a race that could determine which party controls the senate. new polling released this week shows just how tight this race is. the suffolk university survey has warren leading brown by 4 points, 48% to 44% but the boston mass poll has scott brown leading, 49-456789 right out of the gate the candidates were asked about their opponent's character and brown questioned warren's native american heritage. >> professor warren claimed she was a native american, a person of color and as you can see she's not. that being said, she checked the box and she had an opportunity actually to make a decision throughout her career. when she applied to penn and harvard she checked the box claiming she was a native american. i don't know whether, in fact, she got ahead as a result of that checking of the box. >> when i was growing up the these are the stories i knew about high heritage. i believed my mother and my father and my aunts and my uncles and i never asked anybody for any documentation. i don'

and missouri. >> massachusetts scott brown and elizabeth warren has turned out to be the weirdest race in the country. >> don't understand why he went after this issue and so far has not backed down. he's still talking about what she did or did not say about her own ethnic heritage. >> this was an issue earl hi on in the campaign. scott brown went early very hard against elizabeth warren on the basis of race. and while it got a lot of national attention, sort of everything he does gets national attention. sort of a darling of the beltway media and so he gets a lot of attention for what he does. he got a lot of press for it but didn't get any movement in the polls. polling pretty well and consistently throughout and then he took a dive. she gave that well received speech to the democratic convention polls generally turned even more strongly toward the democrats he ended up losing in four straight polls in massachusetts and then all of a sudden he's put her race back as the main reason to vote against her. he has never disproven that she is native american. he says essentially look at he
